Vascular Disorders

In this episode we zero in on vascular disorders, a key component of cardiovascular nursing every student should master. From narrowed arteries to clotting crises, understanding how blood flow disruptions impact the body is essential for clinical success.

You’ll learn to:

• Differentiate between arterial vs. venous disorders
• Identify signs and symptoms of peripheral arterial disease (PAD), deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and aneurysms
• Understand key diagnostics like the Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) and Doppler ultrasound
• Apply evidence-based nursing interventions and patient education for vascular health

We’ll walk through real-life case examples to connect pathophysiology to bedside care, helping you make sense of complex vascular conditions in both acute and chronic settings.

🩸 Perfect for: Nursing students preparing for exams, clinical rotations, or cardiovascular-focused care plans.
